OPERATION

WHEN TO TURN ON THE HOOD?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook to direct fumes and vapours
towards the suction surface.
After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours.
By means of the Timer function, it is possible to set auto switch-off function which will allow
the hood to turn off automatically after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
speed (1-3): maintains the circulation of clean air with low electricity consumption.
speed (4-5): normal conditions of use.
speed (6-7): presence of strong odours and vapours.
speed (8-P): rapid disposal of odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The metal filters must be cleaned every 30 hours of operation.
The active carbon filters must be replaced every 3-4 months, depending on the use of the
hood.
For further details see the "MAINTENANCE" chap.

MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the
equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch.
Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive substances
or abrasive cloths.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters : frequent cleaning of the
filters and their supports ensures that no flammable grease is accumulated.
CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES
Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood,
with liquids or solvents.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (F) (at least once a month) leaving them
to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking care not to bend them.
Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.
Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to darken: to
reduce the possibility of this problem from happening, use low-temperature washes (55°C
max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions.
CARBON-ZEO FILTERS
Under normal conditions, they should be regenerated every 18 months and replaced after
3 years. To regenerate the filter, follow the following procedure:
- Remove the filter as described in the instructions.
- Insert filters A, B and C (if any) in a domestic oven at 200°C for about 2 hours.
- When the filter has cooled down, refit the 4 filters onto the metal structure of the filter.
GREASE DRIP TRAY
It is advisable to clean the tray every 1 month.
Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.
For more thorough cleaning, remove the oil collection tray (see figure) and wash it with
water and washing up liquid. Rinse it well and wait for it to be completely dry before reas-
sembling it.
